Hamas security forces fire in the air near the Rafah police headquarters, destroyed during Israel's war last winter, during a ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of the start of the war in the southern Gaza Strip on December 27, 2009. The Hamas-run Gaza Strip marked one year since the start of the deadliest-ever offensive waged by Israel on the isolated enclave, swathes of which still remain in ruins. Photo by Abed Rahim Khatib
